drkohler said: There is NOTHING standard in either Sony's not MS's APU. The most complex APUs AMD is currently STARTING to mass market are quadcore Jaguars with a gpu. Compare that to: MS two Jaguar units, "standard" northbridge, 4 DMA controllers (we used to call it so, now they are called "Data Move Engines" because it sounds so much nicer), huge esram chache, sound hardware, Kinect2 hardware, gpu (+secret stuff?) Sony: two Jaguar units, "enhanced" northbridge, sound chip, compander chip, ARM processor(?), gpu (+secret stuff?) None of these complex chips have ever been tested in the field. If you think you can get this stuff cheap right from the start, you have some serious research to do. |
Wait... we are talking about the APU only.
MS: 8-core Jaguar, 12CUs GPU, 256bits Memory Controller, 32MB eSRAM, 4x DataMoves.
PS4: 8-core Jaguar, 18CUs GPU, 256bits Memory Controller.
AMD: 4-core Jaguar, 4-8CUs CPU, 128bits Memory Controller.
The PS4 version is not that different... the Xbone add some stuffs.
The rest of the hardware is another talk.
